Crawl Back (Under My Stone) |
This time you hurt me |
You really did it this time you did |
Did you count your fingers after shaking my hand |
God forbid |
Riff raff crawling from the slums |
Right there in front of all your chums |
I swear by the pricking of my thumbs |
I’ll make your day and melt away |
I’ll crawl back under my stone |
I’ll crawl back under my stone |
I’ll crawl back under my stone |
But you won’t have to stand next to me |
You won’t have to introduce me |
You won’t have to think about, talk about, care about, me |
I’ll crawl back |
I’ve got a nerve just showing my face don’t you think |
Scruffy little likes ought to know their place don’t you think |
Old boy, sorry to intrude |
Damn shame pretty bloody rude |
I should be horsewhipped and sued |
Then I’ll go quietly my tail between my knees |
I’ll crawl back under my stone |
I’ll crawl back under my stone |
I’ll crawl back under my stone |
But you won’t have to stand next to me |
You won’t have to introduce me |
You won’t have to think about, talk about, care about, me |
I’ll crawl back |
I want to be middle class |
Floors and ceilings made of glass |
I just want to be, I just want to be free |
You had me in a second you had it all reckoned, you did |
You guessed my game and my name, rank and number, you did |
Somehow I gave myself away |
Some code, some word I didn’t say |
I missed one line in the play |
And the trap shut tight and you did me all right |
I’ll crawl back under my stone |
I’ll crawl back under my stone |
I’ll crawl back under my stone |
But you won’t have to stand next to me |
You won’t have to introduce me |
You won’t have to think about, talk about, care about |
You won’t have to ask about, fuss about, discuss about |
You won’t have to mind about, swear about, forget about, me |
Crawl back |
I’ll crawl back |
I’ll crawl back |
Crawl back |
I’ll crawl back |
Crawl back |
Crawl back |
I’ll crawl back |
